Very nice I liked alot! Keep the rest coming
seriously this documentary easily outclasses alot of stuff thats shown on the discovery channel (probobly with many times the budget)
informative, great pacing, funny.
Excelent work tina+team
"in a couple of weeks"? Be still my beating heart
Yes indeed, and with the comments in the scottGu video, it can't be long at all!!
This is AWESOME! The Channel 9 crew has really been stepping it up lately with the quality of its video content. I thought I was addicted before! You are all doing an amazing job, really loved the hardware labs videos too. Keep up the great work!
Very long time for a greatest product in the world, I like MS' history
Comment removed at user's request.
No audio at my end
I downloaded WMV and there is no audio.
Please ignore my last comment. I was using VLC media player to watch the video.Windows Media Playeer can play video correclty.
No audio for me. Other channel9 videos have audio.
Yes the things i have read point to a VS 2010 update / beta coming out very soon... pobably right after the WIndows 7 launch on the 21st is my guess.
I downloaded the WMV and there is sound. Can you supply more details of what format you're downloading and what player you're playing it in?

Incredible job, Tina. I really enjoyed this and the quality, style, flow, story are all impressive. I think we have a new media format on Channel 9. Looking forward to more documentaries of this caliber.
Thank you,
C
Brilliant !
Visual Studio since its 6.0 release has been an important piece of software in my life and to see a well-done documentary about it is just brilliant.
High quality stuff, both production and content!
Just using the default IE 8 web browser with silverlight is not playing sound. WMV high in windows media player does have sound.
Brilliant, wow!!! Great video production... and my favorite line "winning and bitching..." I still use VS6 today. I learned pointers with it, and came to love the debugger. For all the complaining we do as a community, thanks for making such a wonderful
tool, despite its shortcomings
That was great, thanks!
Great video, can't wait for the next one and the ones after, I like jow you focused on one application from Microsoft, it would be cool if the same could be done for Windows, Office and Xbox.
Great stuff...... I watched this on my TV using Windows 7 PlayTo Feature.
Right on! That's an awesome feature!

I sill have my BASCOM 1.0 manual
And Visual Basic for DOS is missing in the overview...

I've verified that there is an audio track in all file formats. Not sure what the problem could be.
C
No audio here either!
I played them all as well and have audio. Hmmm, I have no idea what the problem can be.
For those with no sound, can you tell us where you are located geographically? Just send mail to us with this info. ctorre at microsoft dot com
C
Brilliant!
Keep it comming, this is - like the history of MS - a very informative and well put together series.
From a programmer who's been coding in the DOS days thru windows 3.x, down to now - this is very enjoyable to watch.
Thanks very much.
Hmm, wondering why the timeline leaves out the History of C and other programming langauages that eventually led to Visual Studio.
While Basic did basically make Microsoft,. C, C++, 0.Fortran, Foxpro, etc played roles in that timeline.
I think My first programming language package I bought was Quick C. Did get some of the early Microsoft Foxpro, both dos and windows version.
BTW Excellent video looking forward to the full interviews. brings back some fond and not so fond memories.

Scott “Um.. Ah..” Guthrie wrote a mock-up of Visual Studio in a weekend! Never mind Lake Bill; the campus needs a Fountain Scott!
two words: NO AUDIO !
downloaded the wmv and it has audio, but this seems to be pretty common on C9 videos these days.
wow, 20Kb/s download.
I wonder if you've ever considered just uploading the videos to youtube. I've heard they know how to stream video.
...that was my line... you'd love the stuff they edited out of there....
Tim, you had some fantastic one liners and stories. Which is exactly why your interview in full will be airing in two weeks.
El video no tiene sonido, ponganse media pila...
A tina la parto como un queso....
Hi,
I am unable to hear the sound when this video plays in silverlight. I have the latest silverlight plugin installed. Only the video plays fine.
Update: It seems that only a few silverlight video has got this problem. For eg. I have no problem with this video (https://channel9.msdn.com/posts/matthijs/Scott-Guthrie-Visual-Studio-2010-and-NET-Framework-40/). Everything is fine with this video.
I am using IE 8.0 to access this video from India.
Really nice! I couldn't help and watched part 2 already, sorry!
I have no audio, either.
Hi,
I've seen the first part of this Visual Studio history videos and there are interesting things in it, but there is much more to history - people talk there like they act in a sealed vacuum without Java, Unix, Linux, Mac, Google and many other companies and products all influent Microsoft and Visual Studio.
If you make history film, make it on how history was, not how you wanted it to be.
Microsoft was the first one to create developers community? are you kidding me?
Also where does COM disappear? it is, till this very day, one of the most fundamental technologies that all of Microsoft product really on, .NET 4.0 has new features specifically for COM interop.
Thank you,
Ido.
No audio here either
Awesome video! Great work on the production. I'm looking forward to the full interviews.
Let's see ... 11 interviews, one per week takes us up to right before Christmas. That would be a perfect lead-in to a year-end product launch (not likely, but ...)
Wow! Love that!
Very, very, very slow download ......
Awesome, keep em coming. Scott Gu is the man!
Very nice. Make more.
Is it just me or Alan Cooper is annoying?
Brings back some great memories.
This is the type of inspiration we need during these difficult economic times. Let’s make America great again.
nice to see the video
an old and still needed til now
This is an awesome video. Keep it up. I love those history videos about Microsoft
Can you buy these on DVD or something?
